sveltekit-navigation-redirect-issue

When using SvelteKit's clientside link navigation, redirects are not being respected unless the link has the data-sveltekit-reload attribute. If a page returns a redirect, Kit just throws a 500 Internal Error for the user (no message on the server). You can verify that the responses are getting sent correctly and have 3xx status codes by checking devtools.

When using the data-sveltekit-reload or manually refreshing the page, the redirect works fine.

It doesn't seem to matter how the redirect is sent: Kit's redirect() error, Response(null, { status: 302, headers: { Location: '/login' } }), and Response.redirect(event.url.origin + '/login', 302); all give the same result.

I couldn't find any docs on this, so I assume this is either uninteded behavior or I'm doing something wrong.

Routes:

• /hooks-redirect-error: Redirecting using hooks.server.js
• /hooks-redirect-prefetch-error: Same but with prefetch
• /manual-redirect-error: Redirecting in +page.server.js
• /should-redirect: Redirecting using hooks.server.js, link has data-sveltekit-reload.
• /redirect-target: Route we're redirecting to.
